Hhe was in the middle of a figure, when looking up she saw him stan ding in the old place, leaning against tho j door casing, regarding her with a look which went to her hoiirt.

FiVen a! she made the assertion her heart told her that he was not tho man to do anything of that sort. In her linger hlic accepted the escort of Glouville to the supper table to tho sur prise of her friends. “Where is Wallace ?” asked Nellie Bel lick, bending toward her across the table. “How do I know ?” she said a little pet tishly. “Am I his keeper ?” “I though you were,” replied Nellie. “0 Ido so hope you have quareled ! i want him myself. lam getting tired of Charley Merrill. He is such a tease." This speech was Aocompaied by a sly glance at (.’hurley, who looked supreme ly confident. “Nell couldn’t got. alone without mo,” he said. “As. for Wallace Thornton, he w ouldn’t have such iilliglit little piece of impudence, I wish l had his brains.” “Hope for possibilities, Charley, dear,” said Nellie. -, This butifer was Anything but pleasant to Marion. By this time she was misera ble. He did not come back. The attentions of the major beeoirfe Odious to her. She watched tlie door furtively, in tho hope that lie might appear, if did come in uf | ter awhile, and took a seat near the upper i end of the table. Charley Merrill saw him j and called him down, lie refused, and, after sitting a moment, went away. Tim, | lights were dim to Marion after that; the j tlowoiji laded; thttiuusici a discord. She | went away directly after supper, refusing I ! the company of Glouville again. He 1 ■ ground his white teeth when she was | gone, tpvqrq f . Hpuieli oath, run! went 1 ; back t’o the bull room. Of course Wallace was as miserable ns j ■ she. He lmd loved her too dearly to forget j | her soon. He took to haunting solitary j | places iu the woods, taking his gun with j | him but never bringing any game. One day he came close to the grounds of j ■ Mr. Carroll. Lying down under a tree, i j thinking bitterly of the days when he lmd sut there with Marion, ho hoard voices; ; near him. He started to rise, but they ; were so close tojliim that they must see i - him, besides, he heard Marion’s voice, j aud could not stir. The sound lmd still power to charm him. "Be silent, sir !" she was saying.—“l have given you encouragement to pursue me, I cauuot love you—l do uot even like you ?” “That is nothing, Miss Marion,” said j the voice of Gleuville. "All in good time. You will love me after yon forget ! vour old flame. The ridiculous fellow did ’ His own business.” “1 will uot hoar another woid from you. ' .Major UlvUVliic. Wallace urn, right, and I A hotheaded, silly girl, did not know what was tiest for my own happiness. He has given me a hitter lesson, but I thank him for ij. If lie knew how I have uuiurued for uy fault ho would at least forgive me. But go; you hud much to do with it, and remember this, that I love him more dearly now, when ho has left ino, than evyr before, indeed I never knew how much 1 loved biui until this bit ter hour.” Wallace could endure no more.—He came forward with a lioumiug face, both hands extended. “Forgiven, my darling 1 Let us never speak of it again. If yours lias been a bit ter lesson so has mine ; but i think all un happiness atoned fur by this moment’s bliss* “Confound it!” said Glenville, gnaw ing his lip, “I am in tho way I guess. I wish you good day, Miss Mgrion. Y'ou timed your pretty speech nicely.” “Mnjor Gianvillo,” said Walhice, "a cheque for three hundred dollars was cash ed at the batik yesterday. The signature wua mine, the party presenting it was yourself. I have only to say that the quicker you leave Currolton, the better it will be for you.” It is needless to say he took the hint. People who have never heard this story wonder why Mrs. Thornton is so averse to waltzing. She keeps her counsel well. Major Glenville is now living at tho expense of the State in Anhnrn. . General Sam. Houston's Coat of Arms. Near forty years ngo General Bam, Houston and General White fought a duel in Simpson conuty, six miles south of Franklin, in a woods near the State line, now a farm of H. J Duncan Bsq. Years after this event, General H. thought proper to adopt a coat of arms, and the emblems used were suggested by circum stances wliicli transpired during his stay at his boarding-house—B. Duncan's— preliminary to the day of conflict. There were on the premises two puppies with decided Ishmnelitio proclivities. Nothing it seemed, short of each other's bipod or life, would suffice to satiuTe their wrath. The dogs wero named Jackson and Benton—these names wf>rc suggested by the filed then existing between Jackson and Benton, whose tenacity of purpose was exemplified by this canine couple. Gen. Houston was no idle spectator of the conflict raging between the two Ameri can champions, but was a fast friend of Gen. Jackson. The mere name of one of the dogs was sufficient to claim the atten tion of (Jen. Houston, and ill the many en counters ho witnessed between them he was sure to see that ltjs favorite hud fair play. Tlrti night fiefore the duel lie; asked ids host to wake him up just at two o’clock a. M. Olio minute before that hour ho was awakened by the crowing of a chicken cock under his window. Though he de nied being in any way superstitious, yet the circumstance impressed him with an iilqu <yuinous of victory in the coming bat tle; lfra ’attendants being asleep be con cluded to while away the hour iu moulding bullets. Just as the first one was made he r ognized the lainiliar salutation of las favorite dog Jackson at, the door. This again inspired him with courage, and he did not conceal the fact from his atten dants. Baid he to my brother, “I never was more sure of any coming event than that I should bo victorious, and, if these circumstances did not conspire to produce this assurance, I know what did.” In af ter years, still remembering the circum stance, he thought proper to emblaze liis coat of arms with a game chicken and a faithful dog emblematical of courage and fidelity. -Franklin (Ay.) Patriot. - - Ancestors of Washington and Franklin. We take tho following extract from the ! “Life of Washington” by Fdward Everett: i “It may be mentioned as a somewhat 1 striking fact, and one, I believe, not hith i erto adverted to —that the families of i Washington aud Franklin-—tho former j tho great leader of the American Revolu tion, tho latter not second to any of his i patriotic associates—wuro established in 1 the same central county of Northampton, and within a few miles of each other; the Washingtons, at, Brington and Sulgruve, belonging to (he landed gentry of the country, nnd in the Brest civil war sup porting tho foynl side: the Franklins at the village of Eetou, living on the produce of a farm of thirty acres, aud the earn ings of their trade as blacksmiths, and espousing—some of them, at least, and I the father and uncle of Benjamin Franklin j among tho number —the principles of I non-conformists. Their respective emi grations, germs of great events in history, took place—that of John Washington, the great-grandfather of George, iu ltif)7, to loyal Virginia: that of Josinh Franklin, the father of Benjamin, about the year 1685, to the metropolis of puritan New England. ” Florida Productions. The produetsons, natural and artificial, of Florida, are chiefly those which require a tropical sun to mature their fruits, it is not, however, imfivly in tropical products that Florida possesses advantages over every other State in the Ulfiou. It is now ! established, beyond a doubt, that the sea island or long staple cotton, the produc tion of which was confined ton few islands on the coast of South Carolina and Georgia, will grow luxuriantly even in the very j renter of the Peninsula, on lands over re | gardeil as the least value iu Florida, The i soil is also adapted to the successful onlti- I vatiou of the coffee plant, cocoa, sugar cane, rice, indigo, arrowroot, sisal hemp, New Zelaud flax, etc. Land which has been cultivated for twenty years without the use of fertilizers, is knowu to yield I’sooo pounds of sugar, and 800 gallons of molasses per acre. Of tobacco there may be three cuttings in a year, and the average yield is 700 pounds per acre. The poorest lands will produce a luxuriant crop of sisal hemp, the profit upon which is as great as upon any of the products of the fertile soils Indigo may be seen growing iu its wilil’state. -to• to-- - Let X our Wife Know Your Situation. An exchange sav-st —It is a custom too common wit h tho men of the world to keep their families in utterjignorauoc of the sit uation of tlieir business. The wife knows nothing—has not even an idea —of the amount of her husband’s fortune, whether it is to be counted by hundreds or thou sands. What can a woman bo kept in such ignoraaoe learn ? Bhe spends, as a matter of course, all he gives her to spend, with the full confidence that when that is gone, and she asks for it, he will give her her moro. If an unmarried woman works she may go with a bold, nnblushing face, and demand her wages; but a wife cau de mand nothing; her claim is onlyifor bare ne cessity, aud geuerons men, on that account are often too indulgent, too fearful of let ting a wife know tho exact state of her husband's finances, understand his plans, and aid him, if possible, with her counsels, and then these terrible catastrophes would uot so often happen. Many a wife who is plunging her husband deeper and deeper into debt from ignorance would, if she knew his embarrassments, be the first to retrench, and with true womanly sympathy aud generosity, help him to reinstate his falling fortunes, Advice to Correspondents. There are a few thing* that wo would like to impress upon the minds of those whose fortune, or misfortune, necessitate their sending correspondence to a news pa tier. Hero they are: Write pluiuly. Not to do so is to make un item almost valueless, and sometimes worse than useless. If you write a “hack” hand, learn to do it with the left hand, that the composi tor may not have to stretch his neck to the left to a dangerous extent to get tlio run of n word. Don’t underline every adjective in (lie sentence, after tho style of a lawyer’s brief. If you have ever studied punctuation at all, punctmfle; but if you liuve not, let it slide.

The temperance questiou is receiving a great deal of attention m Douglass at pres ent. On Fast Day a uuiou mass meeting was held, aud a committee of ladies aud | Gentlemen appointed to wait outlie liquor | dealers. Ou Saturday the ladies called ! upon one of the principal saloons, the pro prietor, Mr. L. Simpson, having refused s* see the geutlemen, and were received | very politely. He was asked if he thought it right to sell liquors, aud responded:; “Yes, as right as for grocers to sell gro ceries.” One of the ladies then read several pas sages from the Bible reuuii iug, “Let us see what the Lord says.” On hearing the Scriptures relating to the auger of the Lord with drunkards and those who sell liquor, the proprietor turned pale, trembled violently, und clutched tho counterconvul j sively for support. The many loungers iu the sidoon were stupefied, and only offered assistance when urged by the ladies. On being led into another room bo cried : several times, “O God ! have mercy ou my | soul 1” Immediately bis tongue began ! swelling, tilling his mouth to such an extent as to lender it impossible to artic ulate- Tho ladies did all in their power to make him comfortable, and a physician was scut for, who, ou arriving, pro nounced it a case of appoplexy, and iu a short time the man died. The community was, of course, startled with the news, und the feeling for Hr. Simpson is inteuse. j Tlie ladies all agreed that it was the direct work of the Lord, and even some of the frequenters of tlie suloon acquiesced iu Ibis decision. —Poston Advertiser. Cremation. No Less personage than the bishop of Manchester, England, hss taken up the argumentative cudgels in favor of crema tion. The reverend bishop was about to consecrate a graveyard, and in the course ; of liis remarks lie alluded to the possibili ty of a change of the custom of burial iu favor of the older rite, iu the course of, the I coming century. Ho argued strongly in I contradiction of the idea that burial isnec | essary to a final resurrection, maintaining I that it would lie as easy for God to raise I up a body at the resurrection, if needs be, | out of elementary particles which hud been liberated liy the burning as it would be to raise up a body from dust and form the elements of bodies which had passed into the structure of worms. In the course of his sermon the bishop also alluded to the words used in tho Church of Englaml Burial Service, to tho effect that the dead were commit ted to dust “in sure and cer tuiu hope of the resurrection to enternal life." He said tlmt some people tnouglit from that that the church believed that with regard to every oue committed to the grouud they entertained a sure aud certain hope of tlie resurrection to eternal life. That expression, however, merely meant that they performed the act iu full belief of tlie doctrine of the resurrection. Whether a man would rise again to the resurrection. of salvation or damnation must depend on God’s inexorable worid laws. Too Late. A couple were arranging terms for a | separation, to avoid the scandal of a ju- I diciftl divorce, and a friend had boon em ; ployed i v tho husband to negotiate the matter. The latest mission was in refer- I euoe to a valuable ring given to the wife before marriage by the husband. For this he would make a certain lunch-desired concession. Tho friend made the demand. “What 1” said the indignant wife, “do ! you venture to charge yourself with such j a mission to me? Can you believe that I could tear myself from a gift which alone recalls to me the days when my husband | loved me? No 1 this ring is my only sou venir of liapiness for ever departed ! ’Tie all"—aud hero she wept—“that I now ! possess of a once fond husband. ” The friend, however, insisted. The lady sup plicated, grew obstinate, grew desperat, threatened to submit to a public divorce as ala ser evil than parting with the cher ished ring, aud at last confessd that she had sold it six months before. Another fatal blunder by a drng clerk is reported. A man who had a discussion about family matters with his wife, and came out second best, threatened to com mit siftcide, and went out to a drug store I and asked for twenty-five cents worth of stryehniue. Tho ignorant drug clerk in- I stead of putting up poison, gave him some harmless drug in mistake, and blun deringly labeled it “strychnine.” The man took it home, gulped it down, in the presnoe of his wife, and then threw himself down upon tho lounge to die. Hkavife in stead of running for a phycian aiitok stom ache pump, w aited until she thought lie was dead, an then commenced to rifle his pockets for his loose change. He was on his feet iu an instant, and instead of dying he made it very lively for his better-half for about ten minutes; and then he threat ened to get a shot-gun and shoot the drug clerk, and his wife said if he didn’t she would. And now discord and such things dwell in' that house, all on account of a blundering drug clerk. Hon. R. M.
